DETAILFD DESCRIPTION OF 'IH~ INVFNTION
The automatic stud driver according to the present invention comprises a body 10; a collar 20; a driven head 30; a carriage 40; two sets of balls in the carria~e (~our retaining balls 44 and two latching balls 46); a set of jaws 50; a plunger 60; and a stud pick-up and aligning means 70. As shown in ~igure
2, the assembled stud driver has three concentric cylinders; the body 10, the carriage 40 which is inside the body 10, and the 1 ~67671 dr;Yen head 30 also in the body 10.
The driven head 30 and the carriage 40 are secured inside of the body 10 by the collar 20, which screws onto the exterior threads of the body 10. The driven head 30 and the carriage 40 are prevented from sliding through body 10 by the head ledge 12 and the carriage ledge 14 respectively both on the body 10 (Figure 4). The carriage ledge 14 is far enough down into body 10 so as to allow the carriage 40 a limited range of sliding between the bottom of the driven head 30 and the carriage ledge 14.
In operation, the driven head 30 is attached to a driving mean~. The driving means supplies ratary and recipro~al motion to the stud driver. The driven head 30 is also coupled to the carriage 40 so as to transfer the power and motion of th~
driving means to the carrlage 40 but still allow the carriage 40 to slide in the body 10.
The carriage 40 is the envelope for the assembly of jaws 50. The jaws 50 grip the stud by a grooved thresded section 54 whose threads match those of the studs. The ~aws 50 are assembled about the plunger means 60 forming a cylindrical shape which is held together by the hollow inside surface of the carriage 40 (Figure 2). A hole is formed by the grooved threaded section 54 in the bottom of the assembly of ~aws 50. It is into this hole that the stud is inserted to be grasped by the ~aws 50.
The assembly and disassembly of the stud driver has been greatly simplified in the present invention by the novel body, carriQge, jaws, and stud pick-up and aligning means. The jaws 50 are held around the plunger means 60 and then inserted ~ ~6~67 1 into the carriage 40. Then the retaining balls 44 and the latching balls 46 are placed into the retaining ball holes 45 and Iatching ball holes 47 in the carriage ~0. Before the carriage 40 is dropped into the body 10, either the jaws 50 must be closed to line up the latching ball groove 58 with the latching b~ll holes 47 or the diametrically opposed cuts 57 in the side of the jaws 50 which forms grooves between the two jaws must be lined up with the latching holes 47, so as to provide a recess between the jaws ~0 for the latching balls 46 as they slide past the sur~ace 15 on the body 10 and allow the carriage 40 to slide into the body 10. Once the carriage 40 is in the body 10, the driven head 30 is slid intc the body 1~ so th~t the ~ost 41 on the carri~ge 40 slides into the slot 34 in the driven head 30. The collar 20 is then slid over the driven head 30 and screwed onto the body 10, and the collet 80 (Pigure 1) is tightened up sgainst the collar 20 to lock the collar 20 on the body 60 to complete the assembly of the stud driver. The collet 81 can be utilized to secure accessories, such as a dust cover or a trip gauge, to the tool.
Optionally, the stud pick-up and aligning means 70 may be slid onto the end of the carriage 40, the slots 71 in the stud pick-up and aligning means are sligned with the set screw holes 48 in the carriage 40, and the set screws 78 sre }nserted into the carriage 40.
To disassemble the stud driver, the reverse process is used. To remove the jaws 50 from the csrrisge 40 once the carrisge 40 is out of the body 10, the jsws 50 need to be closed which requires a stud to be inserted into the ~aws.
_ 4 _ .' 67~71 ~`
The assembly and disassembly of the stud driver requires only a stud, a hex end wrench for the set screws 78 il the optional stud pick-up and aligning means 70 is utilized, and a set of wrenches for the collar 20, collet 80 and optional collet 81, and driven head 30. Tne advantages of such a simple to assemble stud driver are enormous in saving time in maintaining the stud driver.
In the stud setter, the means to grip the ætud are the jaws 50. On the inside planar surface of each jaw 50 is a semicircular groove 51 extending the length of the jaw. The lower section of the groove 51 is threaded to match the threads on the stud. Thus, when the jaws are cl~sed ~nto th~ st~d, the threaded section 54 of the jaws 50 can ~rip the stud without damaging any of the threads on the stud.
~ itted into the upper section of the groove 51 above the threaded section 54 is the plunger means 60. The plunger means 60 is held in the the groove 51 of the jaws 50 by a pivot cylinder 65. The pivot cylinder 65 is slidably mounted on a threaded shaft 66 of the plunger means. The pivot cylinder 65 fits in pivot grooves 55 of the jaws 50. The pivot grooves 55 are perpendicular to the lengthwise groove 51. The plunger means ¦60 biases the lower portion of the jaws 50 outwards to allow the ¦jsws to slide over ~he stud. The jaws 50 are opened by an annulus 62 on the plunger means 60 which is biased towards the opening groove 53 of the groove 51 in the jaws and away from the closing groove 52. Since the closing groove 52 has a larger radius than does the annulus 62, the jaws can be closed while annulus 62 is in the closing groove 52 but since the annulus 62 _5_ ~ ~67~7 J
is biased towards the opening groove 53, which has a smaller radius than annulus 6~, the lower section of the jaws sre forced apart. The spreading out of the jaws S0 disengages the threaded section 54 from the stud and thus releases the stud. The lower section of the annulus 62 is tapered inward so as to allow the annulus 62 to smoothly slide from the closing groove 52 to the opening groove 53.
The snnulus 62 along with the entire lower half of the plunger means 60 is biased downward in the jaws S0 towards the closing groove 53 by a helical spring 6~. The helical spring 64 pushes up against the pivot cylinder 65, which is slidably mounted o the threaded shaft 6fi. T~e pivot cylinder 6~ js prevented from sliding off the threaded shaft 66 by the hex end head on the threaded shaft 66. The bottom 63 of the plunger means 60 extends into the threaded section 54 of the jaws. As ¦ thé stud is inserted into the ~aws SD, the end of the stud presses up against the bottom 63 of the plunger means 60 and, by ¦overcoming the biasing force, ~orces the plunger means 60, ¦including the annulus 62, upwards in the groove Sl. The annulus 62 slides into theclosing groove 52 and allows the ~aws to close ¦onto the stud.
¦ The assembly of the ~aws S0 and the plunger means 60 is ¦enclosed in the carriage 40. The carriage 40 is a hollow cylinder with a closed top end 42. Although the jaws and plunger assembly can easily be slid into the carria~e, once inserted, the jQWS 50 cannot unintentionally slide out. The three means which prevent the j8WS 50 from sliding out of the carriage are: the retaining balls 44 which ride in the peripheral wall of the .
6 '7 ~
carriQge 40, the latching balls 46 which also ride in the peripheral wall of the carriage 40, and a locking groove 43 (~igure 2~ around the ins~de surface of the carriage 40. The locking groove 43, which forms a clrcle perpendicular to the axis of the carriage 40 aro~nd the insi~e surface of the carriage 40, prevents the open jaws 50 from sliding out of the carriage 40 by acting as a stop for diametrically opposed bridges 58A on the ~aws SO. When the carriage 40 is in the body 10, the retaining balls 44 prevent the jaws from sliding completely out of the body 10, regardless of whether the jaws 50 are closed or not.
The retaining balls 44 are held in the peripheral wall of the carriage 40 in the retaining ball holes 45. The retaining balls 44 have a diameter larger than the thickness of the peripheral wall of the carriage 40. Thus, when the carriage 40 is in the body 10 which brings the wall of the ~arriage 40 flush with inner surface 15 of the body 10, the retaining balls 44 protrude past the inside surface of the peripheral wall of the carriage 40 (~igure 2). The ~aws 50, which ~it snugly in the carriage 40, compete for space inside the carriage with the retaining balls 44. The only section of the ~aws assembly which is thin enough to fit between the protruding retaining balls 44 is the retaining ball groove 56. The retaining ball groove 56 is wide enough to allow the jaws 50 a limited range of sliding movement up and down within the carriage 40. Within this range, the ~aws 50 can slide out of the carriage 40 until the bridges 58A engage with the groove 43 of the carriage 40 and the Jaws ~0 can slide into the carriage 40 until the bottom of the ~aws SO
are approximately flush with the bottom of the carriage 40.
_ 7 _ The jaws 50 are also held within the carriage by the latching balls 46. The latching balls 46 are held in the peripheral wall of the carriage 40 in the latching ball holes 47. As with the retaining balls 44, the latching balls 46 have a diameter larger than the thickness of the peripheral wall of the carriage 40. Thus, when the carriage 40 is slid up in~o the body 10 such that the top 42 of the carriage 40 is up against the bottom of the driven head 30 bringing the latching ball holes 47 up next to and flush with the inner surface 15 o~ the body 10, the latching balls 46 are forced to extend past the inner surface of the peripheral wall of the carriage 40. Only the latching ball groove 58 can fit ~etween he protruding latc~i!.g ~al1s 46. The latching ball groove 58 cannot slide past the protruding latching balls 46 because of the thicker portion of the jaws 50 just above the latching ball groove 58. Conse~uently, the jaws 50 cannot slide out of the carriage 40 when the latching balls 46 are forced into the latching ball groove 58.
All the means which prevent the jaws 50 from sliding completely out of the carriage 40 allow the jaws 50 a limited amount of sliding within the carriage 40. That limited amount of sliding of the jaws 50 in and out of the carriage is the means by which the jaws are closed and allowed to open. W~en the jaws have slid partially out of the carriage, as in Pigure 2, the jaws 50 are biased open by the plunger means 60. ~en a stud is inserted into the jaws 50, the stud pushes the jaws 50 up into the carriage 40 which brings the closing lip 59 on the jaws 50 into engagement with the tapered surface 4g on the carriage ~0.
Engagement of the closing lips 59 and the tapered surface 49 ~ 1676~ 1 causes the lower half of the jaws 50 to come closer and ~loser together as the jaws 50 are slid further and further up into the carriage 40 until finally the jaws are closed firmly onto the stud which prevents the closing lips 59 from sliding any further up against tapered surface 49. Once this happens, the iaws 50 are fully closed onto the stud.
The insertion of the stud into the jaws 50 also forces the carriage 40 to slide up in the body 10 against the bottom of the driven head 30. Once the carriage is slid up in the body 10, the latching ball holes 47 are adjacent to the inner surface 15 of che body, whicn forces the ;atc~ g~ balls 46 to pro.Pude pas~
the inner surface of the peripheral wall of the carriage 40 and into the latching ball groove 58. Since the latching ball groove 58 is bridged at 58A, the jaws can only rotate in the carriage 40 until the latching balls 46 are abutted with the side of the bridges 58A. Thus, when the stud is being spun into the workpiece, the stud cannot force the jaws 50 to spin around in the carriage 40.
Power and motion is imparted to the stud driver throu~h the driven head 30. The driven head 30 is rotatably held into the body 10 by the collar 20 by engaging with the lip 33 on the driven head 30. Through the bottom of the driven head 30 is the slot 34 perpendicular to the axis of the driven head 30. This slot 34 slidably but nonrotatably engages with the post 41 on the top of the carriage 40. The slot 34 and post 41 engagement allows the carriage 40 to slide up and down within body 10 but still be rotatably coupled with the driven head 30. The top end _g_ 7~
I f the driven hesd 30 is attached to some driving means, such as a drill press, which imparts reciprocal and rotary motion to the sl:ud driver.
The collar 20 holds the driven head 30 in the body 10. The collar 20 screws on to the top end of the body 10. The collar 20 engages with lip 33 and bearing surface 35 on the driven head 30. The collar 20 holds the driven head 30 coaxial to the body by the engagement of the bearing surface 35 and a similar bearing surface on the inside of the collar.
Planar surfaces 32 have been cut out of the upper cylindrical suriace of the driven head 30 so that a wrench can be used to tight~n the ~riven head 30 onto the ~rivi-g mea~s. A
similar planar surface has been cut out Or the outer cylindrical surface of the collar 20 to also provide a grip for a wrench to tighten the collar 20 onto the body 10. Collet 80 has a planar surface for a wrench and is tightened up against the collar 20 as a locking mechanism to prevent the collar 20 from being shaken loose during operation of the stud driver.
The optional stud pick-up and aligning means 10 picks up and holds the stud until the stud is to be inserted into the ~aws. Th~ stud pick-up and aligning means 70 initially aligns the stud prior to its insertion into the jaws 50 so that the stud is coaxial with the ~aws 50.
The bottom of the stud pick-up and aligning means 70 has an inverted table top section 74 having four holes 75 symmetrically disposed about its side, each of which holds one of a plurality of pins 73. The pins 73 each have a head 76 which prevents them from sliding through the holes 75. The pins 73 are 11676~t biased inwards towards the a~is of stud pick-up and aligning means 70 by a resilient O-ring 72. The pins 73 engage the end o~
the stud when the stud is inserted into the stud driver and position the stud towards the center of the jaws 50. The pins 73 do not firmly grasp the stud and thus allow the stud to slide past and rotate in the pins 73. The stud pick-up and aligning means 70 is held onto the carriage 40 by two diametrically opposed set screws 78 which are enclosed by corresponding slots 71 in the peripheral wall of the stud pick-up and aligning means 70. The set screws 78 are set in set screw holes 48 in the carriage 40 and protrude out from the peripheral wall of the carliage 40. The set sc ews 78 ar~ ~nsert:d in the car.iage 40 a~ter the stud pick-up and aligning means 70 has been slid onto the end o~ the carriage 40. The slot 71 and set screw arrangement permits the stud pick-up and aligning means 70 to slide up and down a limited distance relative to the carriage 40.
In operation, the assembled stud driver is attached by the driven head 30 to the driving means. In the beginning of the sequence (as shown in ~igure 2), the jaws 50 are open and partially out of the carriage 40 which has slid dowm away from the driven head 30 in the body 10 to rest on the carriage ledge 14 in the body 10. When the stud driver has the optional stud pick-up and aligning means 70, the stud is inserted into the stud driver, by ~irst passing through the stud pick-up and aligning means 70, which picks up the stud and holds the studs until the stud is to be inserted into the jaws. Usually the stud is held in the stud pick-up and aligning means 70 until the stud is brought into contact with the threaded stud hole, at which time the stud is pushed up into the jaws as the stud pick-up and aligning means 70 aligns the stud coaxial to the open jaws 50.
As the stud is further inserted into the stud driver, the end of the stud abuts the bottom 63 of the plunger me~ns 60. Once the stud overcomes the biasing force of the helical spring 641 the stud forces the annulus 62 to slide up into the jaws 50 from the opening groove 53 of the jaws into the closing groove 52. Once the annulus 62 of the plunger means 60 abuts up against the top of the closing groove 52 of the jaws 50, the upward movement of the stud forces the plunger means and jaws assembly up into the carri~e. As the jaws 50 slide up into the carriage 40, the c103 ng lips 59 of the jar7-; sli~e againsl the tPpe:ed inr.cr suriace 49 of the carriage 40 and force the threaded section 54 of the jaws 50 to ~irmly close onto the stud. The upward movement of the stud will also force the carriage 40 to slide up into the body 10 until the top 42 of the carriage 40 is flush against the bottom of the driven head 30, thus bringing the latching ball holes 47 up flush with inner surface lS of the body 10 and causing the latching balls 46 to protrude inwards past the inner surface of the peripheral wall of the carriage 40 and into the latching groove 58 of the jaws 50.
When the stud driver first starts rotating the stud down into the workpiece, the stud resists being screwed into the workpiece and rotates in the threaded section 54 of the jaws 50. However, as the stud rotates in the threaded section 5~, it screws further and further up into the jaws 50 until it finally abuts the bottom 63 of the plunger means 60. The plunger bottom ! ( ( Il t 1~7~71 ¦ 63 is prevented from going any further up into the jaws 50 by the ¦ annulus 62, which is abutted up against the top of the closing ¦ groove 52. Once the stud is up against the bottom 63, the stud ¦ is prevented from rotating any further up into the j~ws 50. At ¦ that point, the stud will then cause the jaws 50 to rotate within ¦ the cylinder 40 but the jaws can only rotate through a limited ¦ arc since the latching groove 58 in which the latching balls 46 ¦ ride is bridged at 58A. Once the stud is stopped from rotating ¦ in the ~aws 50 by the plunger bottom 63 and the jaws 50 are ¦ stopped from rotating in the carriage 40 by the latching balls 48 ¦ binding against the bridges 58A, the stud is forced to rotate ¦ down into the wor~.pi.ece.
¦ After the stud is fully inserted into the worXpiece, ¦the stud driver, which is still grasping the stud, is pulled up ¦away from the stud. The stud pulls the carriage 40 down away ¦ from the driven head 30 and into the body, which brings the ¦latching ball holes 47 in the carriage 40 adjacent the larger ¦diameter inner surface 16 of the body 10 and allows the latching ¦balls 46 to come out away from the jaws 50 in the latching ball ¦holes 47. Once the latching balls 46 have moved outwards in the ¦wall of the carriage 40 out of the latching ball groove 58, the ¦jaws 50 can be pulled by the stud down out of the carriage 40 until the closing lips 59 sre disengaged from the tapered surface 49 of the carriage 40, which allows the plunger means 60 to bias open the Jaws 50 and allow the stud to become disengaged from the stud driver, thus completing the operation of inserting the stud into the workpiece.

The driven head 30 and the carriage 40 are prevented from sliding through body 10 by the head ledge 12 and the carriage ledge 14 respectively both on the body 10 (Figure 4).

Then the retaining balls 44 and the latching balls 46 are placed into the retaining ball holes 45 and Iatching ball holes 47 in the carriage ~0. Before the carriage 40 is dropped into the body 10, either the jaws 50 must be closed to line up the latching ball groove 58 with the latching b~ll holes 47 or the diametrically opposed cuts 57 in the side of the jaws 50 which forms grooves between the two jaws must be lined up with the latching holes 47, so as to provide a recess between the jaws ~0 for the latching balls 46 as they slide past the sur~ace 15 on the body 10 and allow the carriage 40 to slide into the body 10. Once the carriage 40 is in the body 10, the driven head 30 is slid intc the body 1~ so th~t the ~ost 41 on the carri~ge 40 slides into the slot 34 in the driven head 30. The collar 20 is then slid over the driven head 30 and screwed onto the body 10, and the collet 80 (Pigure 1) is tightened up sgainst the collar 20 to lock the collar 20 on the body 60 to complete the assembly of the stud driver. The collet 81 can be utilized to secure accessories, such as a dust cover or a trip gauge, to the tool.
Optionally, the stud pick-up and aligning means 70 may be slid onto the end of the carriage 40, the slots 71 in the stud pick-up and aligning means are sligned with the set screw holes 48 in the carriage 40, and the set screws 78 sre }nserted into the carriage 40.
To disassemble the stud driver, the reverse process is used. To remove the jaws 50 from the csrrisge 40 once the carrisge 40 is out of the body 10, the jsws 50 need to be closed which requires a stud to be inserted into the ~aws.
_ 4 _ .' 67~71 ~`
The assembly and disassembly of the stud driver requires only a stud, a hex end wrench for the set screws 78 il the optional stud pick-up and aligning means 70 is utilized, and a set of wrenches for the collar 20, collet 80 and optional collet 81, and driven head 30. Tne advantages of such a simple to assemble stud driver are enormous in saving time in maintaining the stud driver.
In the stud setter, the means to grip the ætud are the jaws 50. On the inside planar surface of each jaw 50 is a semicircular groove 51 extending the length of the jaw. The lower section of the groove 51 is threaded to match the threads on the stud. Thus, when the jaws are cl~sed ~nto th~ st~d, the threaded section 54 of the jaws 50 can ~rip the stud without damaging any of the threads on the stud.
~ itted into the upper section of the groove 51 above the threaded section 54 is the plunger means 60. The plunger means 60 is held in the the groove 51 of the jaws 50 by a pivot cylinder 65. The pivot cylinder 65 is slidably mounted on a threaded shaft 66 of the plunger means. The pivot cylinder 65 fits in pivot grooves 55 of the jaws 50. The pivot grooves 55 are perpendicular to the lengthwise groove 51. The plunger means ¦60 biases the lower portion of the jaws 50 outwards to allow the ¦jsws to slide over ~he stud. The jaws 50 are opened by an annulus 62 on the plunger means 60 which is biased towards the opening groove 53 of the groove 51 in the jaws and away from the closing groove 52. Since the closing groove 52 has a larger radius than does the annulus 62, the jaws can be closed while annulus 62 is in the closing groove 52 but since the annulus 62 _5_ ~ ~67~7 J
is biased towards the opening groove 53, which has a smaller radius than annulus 6~, the lower section of the jaws sre forced apart. The spreading out of the jaws S0 disengages the threaded section 54 from the stud and thus releases the stud. The lower section of the annulus 62 is tapered inward so as to allow the annulus 62 to smoothly slide from the closing groove 52 to the opening groove 53.
The snnulus 62 along with the entire lower half of the plunger means 60 is biased downward in the jaws S0 towards the closing groove 53 by a helical spring 6~. The helical spring 64 pushes up against the pivot cylinder 65, which is slidably mounted o the threaded shaft 6fi. T~e pivot cylinder 6~ js prevented from sliding off the threaded shaft 66 by the hex end head on the threaded shaft 66. The bottom 63 of the plunger means 60 extends into the threaded section 54 of the jaws. As ¦ thé stud is inserted into the ~aws SD, the end of the stud presses up against the bottom 63 of the plunger means 60 and, by ¦overcoming the biasing force, ~orces the plunger means 60, ¦including the annulus 62, upwards in the groove Sl. The annulus 62 slides into theclosing groove 52 and allows the ~aws to close ¦onto the stud.
¦ The assembly of the ~aws S0 and the plunger means 60 is ¦enclosed in the carriage 40. The carriage 40 is a hollow cylinder with a closed top end 42. Although the jaws and plunger assembly can easily be slid into the carria~e, once inserted, the jQWS 50 cannot unintentionally slide out. The three means which prevent the j8WS 50 from sliding out of the carriage are: the retaining balls 44 which ride in the peripheral wall of the .
6 '7 ~
carriQge 40, the latching balls 46 which also ride in the peripheral wall of the carriage 40, and a locking groove 43 (~igure 2~ around the ins~de surface of the carriage 40. The locking groove 43, which forms a clrcle perpendicular to the axis of the carriage 40 aro~nd the insi~e surface of the carriage 40, prevents the open jaws 50 from sliding out of the carriage 40 by acting as a stop for diametrically opposed bridges 58A on the ~aws SO. When the carriage 40 is in the body 10, the retaining balls 44 prevent the jaws from sliding completely out of the body 10, regardless of whether the jaws 50 are closed or not.
The retaining balls 44 are held in the peripheral wall of the carriage 40 in the retaining ball holes 45. The retaining balls 44 have a diameter larger than the thickness of the peripheral wall of the carriage 40. Thus, when the carriage 40 is in the body 10 which brings the wall of the ~arriage 40 flush with inner surface 15 of the body 10, the retaining balls 44 protrude past the inside surface of the peripheral wall of the carriage 40 (~igure 2). The ~aws 50, which ~it snugly in the carriage 40, compete for space inside the carriage with the retaining balls 44. The only section of the ~aws assembly which is thin enough to fit between the protruding retaining balls 44 is the retaining ball groove 56. The retaining ball groove 56 is wide enough to allow the jaws 50 a limited range of sliding movement up and down within the carriage 40. Within this range, the ~aws 50 can slide out of the carriage 40 until the bridges 58A engage with the groove 43 of the carriage 40 and the Jaws ~0 can slide into the carriage 40 until the bottom of the ~aws SO
are approximately flush with the bottom of the carriage 40.
_ 7 _ The jaws 50 are also held within the carriage by the latching balls 46. The latching balls 46 are held in the peripheral wall of the carriage 40 in the latching ball holes 47. As with the retaining balls 44, the latching balls 46 have a diameter larger than the thickness of the peripheral wall of the carriage 40. Thus, when the carriage 40 is slid up in~o the body 10 such that the top 42 of the carriage 40 is up against the bottom of the driven head 30 bringing the latching ball holes 47 up next to and flush with the inner surface 15 o~ the body 10, the latching balls 46 are forced to extend past the inner surface of the peripheral wall of the carriage 40. Only the latching ball groove 58 can fit ~etween he protruding latc~i!.g ~al1s 46. The latching ball groove 58 cannot slide past the protruding latching balls 46 because of the thicker portion of the jaws 50 just above the latching ball groove 58. Conse~uently, the jaws 50 cannot slide out of the carriage 40 when the latching balls 46 are forced into the latching ball groove 58.
All the means which prevent the jaws 50 from sliding completely out of the carriage 40 allow the jaws 50 a limited amount of sliding within the carriage 40. That limited amount of sliding of the jaws 50 in and out of the carriage is the means by which the jaws are closed and allowed to open. W~en the jaws have slid partially out of the carriage, as in Pigure 2, the jaws 50 are biased open by the plunger means 60. ~en a stud is inserted into the jaws 50, the stud pushes the jaws 50 up into the carriage 40 which brings the closing lip 59 on the jaws 50 into engagement with the tapered surface 4g on the carriage ~0.
Engagement of the closing lips 59 and the tapered surface 49 ~ 1676~ 1 causes the lower half of the jaws 50 to come closer and ~loser together as the jaws 50 are slid further and further up into the carriage 40 until finally the jaws are closed firmly onto the stud which prevents the closing lips 59 from sliding any further up against tapered surface 49. Once this happens, the iaws 50 are fully closed onto the stud.
The insertion of the stud into the jaws 50 also forces the carriage 40 to slide up in the body 10 against the bottom of the driven head 30. Once the carriage is slid up in the body 10, the latching ball holes 47 are adjacent to the inner surface 15 of che body, whicn forces the ;atc~ g~ balls 46 to pro.Pude pas~
the inner surface of the peripheral wall of the carriage 40 and into the latching ball groove 58. Since the latching ball groove 58 is bridged at 58A, the jaws can only rotate in the carriage 40 until the latching balls 46 are abutted with the side of the bridges 58A. Thus, when the stud is being spun into the workpiece, the stud cannot force the jaws 50 to spin around in the carriage 40.
Power and motion is imparted to the stud driver throu~h the driven head 30. The driven head 30 is rotatably held into the body 10 by the collar 20 by engaging with the lip 33 on the driven head 30. Through the bottom of the driven head 30 is the slot 34 perpendicular to the axis of the driven head 30. This slot 34 slidably but nonrotatably engages with the post 41 on the top of the carriage 40. The slot 34 and post 41 engagement allows the carriage 40 to slide up and down within body 10 but still be rotatably coupled with the driven head 30. The top end _g_ 7~
I f the driven hesd 30 is attached to some driving means, such as a drill press, which imparts reciprocal and rotary motion to the sl:ud driver.
The collar 20 holds the driven head 30 in the body 10. The collar 20 screws on to the top end of the body 10. The collar 20 engages with lip 33 and bearing surface 35 on the driven head 30. The collar 20 holds the driven head 30 coaxial to the body by the engagement of the bearing surface 35 and a similar bearing surface on the inside of the collar.
Planar surfaces 32 have been cut out of the upper cylindrical suriace of the driven head 30 so that a wrench can be used to tight~n the ~riven head 30 onto the ~rivi-g mea~s. A
similar planar surface has been cut out Or the outer cylindrical surface of the collar 20 to also provide a grip for a wrench to tighten the collar 20 onto the body 10. Collet 80 has a planar surface for a wrench and is tightened up against the collar 20 as a locking mechanism to prevent the collar 20 from being shaken loose during operation of the stud driver.
The optional stud pick-up and aligning means 10 picks up and holds the stud until the stud is to be inserted into the ~aws. Th~ stud pick-up and aligning means 70 initially aligns the stud prior to its insertion into the jaws 50 so that the stud is coaxial with the ~aws 50.
The bottom of the stud pick-up and aligning means 70 has an inverted table top section 74 having four holes 75 symmetrically disposed about its side, each of which holds one of a plurality of pins 73. The pins 73 each have a head 76 which prevents them from sliding through the holes 75. The pins 73 are 11676~t biased inwards towards the a~is of stud pick-up and aligning means 70 by a resilient O-ring 72. The pins 73 engage the end o~
the stud when the stud is inserted into the stud driver and position the stud towards the center of the jaws 50. The pins 73 do not firmly grasp the stud and thus allow the stud to slide past and rotate in the pins 73. The stud pick-up and aligning means 70 is held onto the carriage 40 by two diametrically opposed set screws 78 which are enclosed by corresponding slots 71 in the peripheral wall of the stud pick-up and aligning means 70. The set screws 78 are set in set screw holes 48 in the carriage 40 and protrude out from the peripheral wall of the carliage 40. The set sc ews 78 ar~ ~nsert:d in the car.iage 40 a~ter the stud pick-up and aligning means 70 has been slid onto the end o~ the carriage 40. The slot 71 and set screw arrangement permits the stud pick-up and aligning means 70 to slide up and down a limited distance relative to the carriage 40.
In operation, the assembled stud driver is attached by the driven head 30 to the driving means. In the beginning of the sequence (as shown in ~igure 2), the jaws 50 are open and partially out of the carriage 40 which has slid dowm away from the driven head 30 in the body 10 to rest on the carriage ledge 14 in the body 10. When the stud driver has the optional stud pick-up and aligning means 70, the stud is inserted into the stud driver, by ~irst passing through the stud pick-up and aligning means 70, which picks up the stud and holds the studs until the stud is to be inserted into the jaws. Usually the stud is held in the stud pick-up and aligning means 70 until the stud is brought into contact with the threaded stud hole, at which time the stud is pushed up into the jaws as the stud pick-up and aligning means 70 aligns the stud coaxial to the open jaws 50.
As the stud is further inserted into the stud driver, the end of the stud abuts the bottom 63 of the plunger me~ns 60. Once the stud overcomes the biasing force of the helical spring 641 the stud forces the annulus 62 to slide up into the jaws 50 from the opening groove 53 of the jaws into the closing groove 52. Once the annulus 62 of the plunger means 60 abuts up against the top of the closing groove 52 of the jaws 50, the upward movement of the stud forces the plunger means and jaws assembly up into the carri~e. As the jaws 50 slide up into the carriage 40, the c103 ng lips 59 of the jar7-; sli~e againsl the tPpe:ed inr.cr suriace 49 of the carriage 40 and force the threaded section 54 of the jaws 50 to ~irmly close onto the stud. The upward movement of the stud will also force the carriage 40 to slide up into the body 10 until the top 42 of the carriage 40 is flush against the bottom of the driven head 30, thus bringing the latching ball holes 47 up flush with inner surface lS of the body 10 and causing the latching balls 46 to protrude inwards past the inner surface of the peripheral wall of the carriage 40 and into the latching groove 58 of the jaws 50.
When the stud driver first starts rotating the stud down into the workpiece, the stud resists being screwed into the workpiece and rotates in the threaded section 54 of the jaws 50. However, as the stud rotates in the threaded section 5~, it screws further and further up into the jaws 50 until it finally abuts the bottom 63 of the plunger means 60. The plunger bottom ! ( ( Il t 1~7~71 ¦ 63 is prevented from going any further up into the jaws 50 by the ¦ annulus 62, which is abutted up against the top of the closing ¦ groove 52. Once the stud is up against the bottom 63, the stud ¦ is prevented from rotating any further up into the j~ws 50. At ¦ that point, the stud will then cause the jaws 50 to rotate within ¦ the cylinder 40 but the jaws can only rotate through a limited ¦ arc since the latching groove 58 in which the latching balls 46 ¦ ride is bridged at 58A. Once the stud is stopped from rotating ¦ in the ~aws 50 by the plunger bottom 63 and the jaws 50 are ¦ stopped from rotating in the carriage 40 by the latching balls 48 ¦ binding against the bridges 58A, the stud is forced to rotate ¦ down into the wor~.pi.ece.
¦ After the stud is fully inserted into the worXpiece, ¦the stud driver, which is still grasping the stud, is pulled up ¦away from the stud. The stud pulls the carriage 40 down away ¦ from the driven head 30 and into the body, which brings the ¦latching ball holes 47 in the carriage 40 adjacent the larger ¦diameter inner surface 16 of the body 10 and allows the latching ¦balls 46 to come out away from the jaws 50 in the latching ball ¦holes 47. Once the latching balls 46 have moved outwards in the ¦wall of the carriage 40 out of the latching ball groove 58, the ¦jaws 50 can be pulled by the stud down out of the carriage 40 until the closing lips 59 sre disengaged from the tapered surface 49 of the carriage 40, which allows the plunger means 60 to bias open the Jaws 50 and allow the stud to become disengaged from the stud driver, thus completing the operation of inserting the stud into the workpiece.
